PayPal Referrals
Easy Money, Easy Payments
How It Works
1. Sign Up Using the Verified Link
Click the unique link below to be taken to the official PayPal UK registration page. To qualify, you must link your bank account, credit card, or debit card and verify your mobile number during the sign-up process.
2. Make a Qualifying Transaction
To activate the £10 reward, complete an “Eligible Transaction” of £5 or more within 30 days of signing up. This can be an online checkout payment or using the “Send Money” feature to someone other than the person who referred you.
3. Receive Your £10 Reward
Once you have met the criteria, your £10 reward will be made available in the “Offers” section of your account, usually within 14 days. Please note that this reward is for use at checkout and will expire on 30 September 2026.
Enhanced Security
PayPal uses a variety of security measures to protect your financial information, such as encryption and fraud monitoring. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and reduces the risk of identity theft.
Buyer Protection
PayPal offers buyer protection for eligible purchases, which can give you peace of mind when shopping online. If there’s a problem with your purchase, such as non-delivery or if the item is significantly different from how it was described, PayPal may help you get your money back.
Refund Protection
In many cases, PayPal will help you get a refund if a transaction doesn’t go as planned. This can be a valuable safety net when shopping online, as it can help you recover your funds if you’re not satisfied with your purchase.
Why use PayPal?
Convenience
PayPal simplifies online transactions. You can link multiple cards or bank accounts and choose which one to use at checkout. No more fumbling for your wallet or typing in long card numbers every time you shop. Sending money to friends and family is also incredibly easy and often instant.
Speed & Widely Accepted
Checkouts are often faster with PayPal. Since your information is already stored, you can complete purchases with just a few clicks.
Millions of businesses worldwide accept PayPal, both large and small. This makes it a versatile payment method you can use in many online stores.
PayPal FAQ
What is the new PayPal referral offer for 2026?
You and your friend each earn a £10 reward voucher. This is automatically applied to your account once you meet the spend requirements.
Do I need a specific PayPal+ referral code?
No code is needed. The tracking is embedded in the referral link. When you click a valid link (like the one on this page) to sign up, the 1,000 points offer is automatically attached to your new account.
Does "sending money" still count to trigger the bonus?
Yes! Sending £5 to a family member using the “Send Money” feature is the quickest way to trigger the £10 reward.
How do I redeem my PayPal+ Points?
When you check out at an online store that accepts PayPal, you will see an option to “Pay with Rewards.” You can slide a toggle to use your 1,000 points to knock £10 off your bill instantly.
Can I convert points to cash instead of spending them?
Yes. Inside the PayPal app, you can choose to convert your points balance into PayPal Credit, which can then be withdrawn to your bank account just like cash.
What are the "Blue" and "Gold" tiers I see mentioned?
Everyone starts on the Blue tier. If you earn 25,000 points in a year, you move to Gold, where your points are worth more (e.g., 1,000 points might get you £12 off instead of £10). Referring friends helps you climb these tiers faster.
Why haven't my points appeared yet?
Points usually appear as “Pending” immediately after your £5 transaction and become “Available” within 14 days. If they haven’t appeared, check that you didn’t refund the £5 transaction, as this voids the reward.
Is there a limit to referrals?
You can refer up to 10 friends during this offer period (ending 30 June 2026), earning a total of £100 in rewards.
Does the PayPal Debit Card help with rewards?
Yes! If you order the free PayPal Debit Card, you can earn 10x points on your shopping. This is a separate perk from the referral bonus but is a great way to boost your points balance quickly.
When does the reward expire?
Any rewards earned during this promotion must be used by 30 September 2026.
